The Greatest Hope

When the ride was over, eighteen years circling the Sun
No regrets and not a word was left unsaid but so much undone
It's okay
Lost his way
Never quite made it back after he buried his best friend on that rainy day

Another lifetime closing as the shadows take his mind
And that daily heartbreak tears this scar open every time
No one there
Seems so unfair
He calls her name alone then breaks down again 'cause he forgot she's gone

And we're left to wonder why
Trying to say goodbye
They say it's the ones who are left behind
Who have the harder time

She burned like a star to wish upon
Harder to believe; one day here, the next day gone
In their minds
A dream to turn back time
Trying to endure the pain and navigate the wreckage of what still remains

And we're left to wonder why
Trying to say goodbye
They say it's the ones who are left behind
Who have the harder time

Even though you're gone
We try to carry on
See you again, my friend, I know
For we have the greatest hope
